Just from the photograph, I would say that was an original and worn pre war Full Dress badge and a very pleasing example of something that is becoming increasingly expensive these days.
They do, on occasion, appear in post war photographs being worn on the pre war tunic, where a particular individual has chosen to retain his old uniform, they came in many styles, but, generally speaking, often more classically shaped in the 1920's, big and bold in the 1930's.
